Sensitive or Easily Reactive Skin Starter Regimen
Guided by Char's 20+ years of hands-on studio experience. This gentle starter regimen is designed for sensitive-feeling, delicate, or easily overwhelmed skin using Char's recommended order: cleanse, tone, hydrate, and protect. The routine is intentionally simple and barrier-focused so skin can become more comfortable and predictable before advanced products are introduced.
Start slowly and stay consistent. If skin feels tight, warm, irritated, stripped, or uncomfortable, pause advanced products and return to the starter steps.
Step 1 — Cleanse — Sensitive Gel Wash
What it is: Gentle cleansing support for delicate, sensitive-feeling, or easily unsettled skin.
Why it’s here: Begins the regimen with a soft cleanse that helps remove daily buildup without making skin feel stripped, tight, or overwhelmed.
Step 2 — Tone — Environmental Defense Toner Mist
What it is: A lightweight refreshing mist that helps prepare sensitive-feeling skin for hydration.
Why it’s here: Creates a gentle bridge between cleansing and moisturizer without making the regimen feel heavy or overly active.
Step 3 — Hydrate — Barrier Booster Crème
What it is: A rich yet breathable moisturizer with humectants, nourishing plant oils, and antioxidant support.
Why it’s here: Provides the main daily comfort step so sensitive-feeling skin feels cushioned, supported, and hydrated without a greasy finish.
Step 4 — Protect — Choose Your Sun Guard Finish
What it is: The final morning step, available in a clear Non-Tinted finish or a soft Tinted finish.
Why it’s here: Consistent daytime SPF completes the regimen. Choose the finish you will apply generously and consistently.
Sun Guard – Non-Tinted
Clear, lightweight and polished.
Sun Guard – Tinted
Soft tinted finish for a polished daytime look.
Optional — Intensive Repair Crème
What it is: A richer nighttime comfort option for skin that feels depleted, fragile, dry, or in need of additional cushioning.
Why it’s here: It can replace or layer selectively with the daytime moisturizer when sensitive-feeling skin needs richer evening support.
